Collection of three gourmet loose leaf Assam Teas in Rosewood Tea Box - A beautiful rosewood container with brass accents makes this the ideal gift for tea lovers. The brass rhino is characteristic of the Assam region of India, a region rich with natures bounty. Inside are a set of three Assam teas (50 grams/ 1.75 ounces each): Assam Summer Tips, High Elevation Assam, and Assam CTC Tea. (Total weight: 560 grams/1 pound, 4 ounces)
Assam Summer Tips are a flavourful tea with a high percentage of golden buds (or Tips). Its ideal combination of taste & aroma makes it a tea more prized than Darjeeling in some countries.
High Elevation Assam is slightly stronger than Assam Tips, and darker in leaf appearance. It is a nice rich tea, recommended with a little milk.
Assam CTC (or Cut Torn Curled), is the most widely used variety globally. CTC yields heavy body instead of fine flavor. The dark granular leaves boiled in water ensure a strong cup at the most economical price. Great for chai, this tea is a staple in many countries when served with milk in the morning.
